Biblical Stewardship Analysis

Thank you for sharing your thoughts regarding why organizations fail and spirituality in the workplace. While many organizations make the claim that God is a stakeholder, these words are of non-effect unless the leader first partakes in whatever is necessary to ensure the followers share the vision and are led by example.

I charge you to be a spiritual community of love. You should also be a community where care and compassion abound. The ministry of care and compassion is not simply the job description of the pastor. It is the job description of this entire church. In Galatians 6:2, the Apostle Paul instructs us to “bear one another’s burdens, and in this way… fulfill the law of Christ.” In addition to caring for and showing compassion to one another, never become so insular that you fail to impact the lives of those outside the church who have no advocate, are mired in hopelessness and ravaged by injustice. Be known as a friendly church and a community church.

Valerie I agree that it is wise to have faith in God even from a business standpoint. It is often hard in today’s society though to put God first in the decision making. I remember back in 2012 when Chick-fil-A was going through a hard time because one of the chief operating officers (Dan Cathy) made a remark about opposing same-sex marriage. He has his right to state an opinion but having friends that are lesbian and gay I had to side with my friends. The remarks seemed to come from a place of hate and he offended so many people by his statement. I do believe that Christians should not hide their beliefs but sometimes in a business setting one person who states an opinion could wreck the business and ultimately leave a Christian owned company

I think understanding the Bible more in depth can help to set the tone and distinguish. This alone can become a challenge for businesses on many levels. You mentioned a business incorporating an culture of inclusiveness. I found that “the latest Gallup research showed that the most engaged employees are those working in an open, fair and diverse environment. Conversely, organizations that cultivate engagement will most likely be fostering an inclusiveness culture that embraces diversity” (Hart, 2012). Fischer explains that God takes pleasure in diversity. In 1 Corinthians 12:14 (ESV) says, “For the body does not consist of one member but of many”. This pertains to you mr body having a variety of organs internally to function properly. This ties into the beauty of having diversity in the midst to obtain healthy and prosperous relationships, equally without forcing and implying beliefs, that could be offensive on other people. You mentioned as Christians to treat individuals as God will treat them. This is great to incorporate as a Christian CEO because you are able to view situations into different perspectives and not from a bias standpoint. An example would also be the Golden rule that you mentioned also in your discussion. I think this idea is great and could be effective for future

Our earthly habitat is not an unexpected occurrence of little worth, but rather, it is one to be highly valued and preserved. The biblical doctrine of creation helps the Christian to understand the true significance of the world in order to deal with the environmental crisis. The Bible says, “For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he hath established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited…” (King James Version, Isaiah 45:18). In Christian teaching, God not only created Heavens and Earth, but expressed His delight in His creation. This creation meant, everything encompassing the trees, the

A couple people may trust that leaders are considered and a couple people may feel that leaders are made. I envision that leaders lead their gathering from his or her potential outcomes and learning. Because of the Apostle Paul, God as a fruitful pioneer, a man that is known how to direct and is devoted to his or her run, picked him. As pioneers, we are vessels. On the off chance that we will be viable, our energy needs to surpass our Magnitude, be the vessel that floods with eagerness and fervor for your vision. The way to Paul 's self-way of life as a pioneer was his part as a messenger (Smith, 2014). The way to that part was the way that it was a celestial arrangement and that it included a mission instructed, and empowered by God and represented by the Spirit of God (Smith, 2014). An approach to consider 'authority ' as the way toward attracting individuals together to impact and "lead" them in a specific bearing (frequently to fulfill a specific errand). On the off chance that this is the thing that we mean by 'administration ', Paul was absolutely a pioneer (Smith, 2014).

I would like to consider my business career. It affects how I treat my co-workers and how I treat the managers and supervisors above me. If a person does not have a Christian worldview, then they may treat their co-workers and employees below them with little respect. They may feel like they are better than them because they have more authority over them. Someone who has a Christian worldview will view their employees as people who they should serve.

Samson, your discussion post was inspiring and I enjoy reading how you are able to invest personally with your employees. The dynamics you are creating for your small group will promote success in your organization. "Positive emotions also enhance problem-solving skills so that positive people find better solutions to problems." (Robbins & Judge, 2009, p. 267)

Dr. Adair brought up a fascinating point that most workplaces would tell you that religion and politics don’t belong in the work force. This is something even my employer emphasizes to all employees. In everything, I do in my life I center it on my religion. Catholicism makes up my beliefs in how others should be treated, ethics, and helping or looking out for others who may be less fortunate. In ten, twenty, or thirty years from now this would always be an aspect I would chose, because it is the very core of how I chose to live my life. There are also biases when people hear I am a Catholic. It’s not uncommon especially in the GLAD community that Catholics believe being gay/lesbian is a sin against God. Therefore, because I am Catholic I “hate” all gay/lesbian individuals. This is actually something far from the truth. Being gay or lesbian has nothing to do with the core traits I feel might make up a person. If someone is an honest, trustworthy, and hardworking individual that promotes inclusion (like many of my coworkers); why would their sexual preference, have any significance? I find these recognizable conversations ones I do have to address; however, can be tricky when in an environment where religion shouldn’t be

Biblical Worldview and Humanbecoming Theory From a Christian worldview, family is a concept widely discussed in the Bible. In Genesis 1:28, God blesses humankind and tells them to be fruitful and increase in numbers. God’s aim for creation was for man and women to marry and have children. Family has always meant to be a sacred commitment. At the same time, families are an important foundation on which societies are built upon.

More the anything I truly want to preserve my faith and Gospel and at all cost avoid negative encounters.

Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness- according to the Declaration of Independence, these are rights that everyone is entitled to by natural law. It can definitely be said that since July 4, 1776, the United States has expanded these rights to a large majority of its citizens; however this expansion took place over two centuries. What about the past few decades? Take, for example, the year 1996. Have we made any progress since then regarding these inalienable rights? It is my belief that within these past two decades, America has moved closer to the ideals outlined in the Declaration of Independence; especially in regard to laws concerning civil rights.

“There is no longer a Christian mind” and there lays the problem. The reason it’s difficult to integrate a biblical worldview into business is because too many Christian do religion. Religion is centered on rules, laws and traditions that are not practical to anyone outside of the religion. As we have learned business ethics are based on our morals, principles, and values however they are subjective and can be confusing. For example a young lady in my office was having a conversation with a vendor and her responses were inappropriate because of lack of training and simply immaturity. After her conversations she came to me and instead of telling her the conversation was inappropriate, I agreed with her on how she handled the call because I didn’t think she could handle or accept my correction. A week later another vendor called and she did the exact same thing. My inability to hold her up to higher standards inadvertently affects me and the organization as a whole. There lays the dilemma and the reason why the article had such an impact to

Cultural differences in the workplace can sometimes become a challenge in the work environment. In order to facilitate these differences, there must be some form of cultural awareness. Cultural awareness can help employees face the challenge of responding to individuals with different religions in the workplace, expose religious practices, and eliminate stereotyping in the workplace. Awareness of religions, and the beliefs associated with different religions, can be accomplished in many ways, such as training courses, workshops or company handouts (Thomas Kochan, 2003, p. 4). Companies must embrace multiculturalism and diversity.
